The National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation reports results from interviews with U.S. residents about their fishing, hunting, and other fish and wildlife-related recreation. This report focuses on 1991 participation and expenditures of U.S. residents 16 years of age and older.

The numbers reported should not be directly compared with those in previous survey reports because of changes in survey methodology in 1991. These changes were made to improve accuracy in the information provided. An explanation of the changes and trends information are provided in appendix B.

The report also provides information on participation in wildlife-related recreation, particularly of persons 6 to 15 years of age, in 1990. The 1990 information is provided in appendix C. Additional information about the scope and coverage of the Survey can be found in the Survey Background and Method section of this report.
